Another week has passed

The last two weeks have flown by. I feel like so much has happened and Mason is getting so big. Yesterday, we went to his two week checkup and everything was perfect. He weighs 9lbs 2oz and has grown 1.25 inches.

Today, Adam & I became a Aunt and Uncle again. Anna, Adam's youngest sister, welcomed Faith Alyssa Zwarh. Mom and baby are great. I know that Adam's parents are double thrilled to be grandparents twice in one month. Mason and Faith are exactly 2 weeks apart. Now we need our cousin Nikki to deliver Camryn and my friend Emily to deliver Lilly and we will be happy.

The nights are getting better. I don't know if it's because I am used to waking up throughout the night or what, but it doesn't seem so hard to get out of bed if he needs something. Adam is still the hard sleeper and doesn't hear him stir, but that is ok. We put Mason in his nursery for the first night a couple days ago. He did a fantastic job. I honestly think that he sleeps better in the crib then he does in his bassinett.

Last Friday, we celebratred a huge accomplishment in Adam's sister, Laura's, life. She finished her first year as a student in the Physician Assistant program at Baylor College of Medicine. The first year is the hardest and she made it through. We couldn't be prouder of her. The school has a special White Coat ceremony for the students to honor them and we were happy to be able to make it. After the ceremony, we joined the family for dinner at Olive Garden. Mason was a champ through the whole night.

Here are some pics of the last two weeks. There are alot, but I couldn't help but take pics. Enjoy!
